Is there a moderator still on the forum? I needed to ask for help with something but wasn't sure who to ask
I never thought of using Wago lever nuts for point to point wiring projects, that's a great idea.
These inline units could be handy as well and would work anywhere there is a wire, regardless...
Ian, did you get the correct list of components for 4343? That attachment is for 4315 components which has some differences.
As for driver upgrades, I intend to keep this set of speakers stock...
Very useful info. Thanks. I never thought of doing that with individual drivers before.
This might seem odd to some people, but I only trust my ears to dial my system into 1 type of music at a...
I didn't think about the 3rd terminal on the L-pads and it being more than just an inline resistor. Makes sense.
I don't mind seeing the shorted wire and it makes it easier to see what you...
A few photos of slow progress...
And a late Merry Christmas to all!
As I've been soldering and siliconing things together I messed up one inductor and realized I was short 2 resistors, so waiting another few days for those things...
I'm looking forward to having them done. I enjoyed some Christmas music through the 43's with stock crossovers while wrapping gifts today. Will dig into them next week (time permitting)
Once done,...
I was going to use hot glue to support the weight of the large items but decided to go with some "Neutral Cure" Silicone, which doesn't give off any acid or harmful vapors and cures with some...
I just realized I still need wire for each of the 4 drivers and the Lpads and 9v and to wire binding posts but the only wire I have on hand is 12awg belden speaker wire. I could reuse the existing...
A small surface mount "project box" like this could easily be mounted to the back of the speaker to house the Lpads

That's not a bad idea running them out the bass ports.
I would also need the 9V battery holder mounted on the back of the speaker since I don't want it to leak inside or be inconvenient to change...
Looks like I'd have to remove the foilcal on the front to get to the screws.
Maybe for this first iteration of crossover upgrade I'll keep the stock Lpads as they are, install the biamp board...
Ah crap, I forgot about the Lpads entirely. Can the new replacement Lpads line up on the front baffle with the same coin slot knobs for OEM JBL appearance?
...
I've got all of my parts to build a full passive crossover setup now, but doing this internally with just the biamp board would allow me to complete it next week on the holiday break. (I can always...
I experienced some anomalies like this at first with mine. Deoxit on the L-pads and the biamp roatary swtich, then working them back and forth with a penny 20 times took care of it. If your...
I definitely benefitted from your comments because you pointed out a price on the list I posted was off on one of the items and I bought the wrong one. So you saved me some grief and a lot of...
Oops you're right. I updated my post above.
EDIT: I thought Skyfi Audio sold theirs but they still have 2 listed on their site, they just took their Ebay listings down.
It appears they had 3 pairs, sold 1 and still have 2. They've also...
Kindly stop with the complaints about price in this thread, it's not helpful and is kind of weird. I'm a happy customer working on a project that I'm very excited about and would like to proceed...
They look good very clean and well done, though the dust cap is incorrect on the 2121, which should be inverted. As long as they have enough adhesive that the cone is secure to the surround, I...
I don't want to derail into a philosophical discussion on pricing, as the seller sets the price and the free market decides if people buy and how many. I feel they're a great value (as long as they...
One of the great things about these PCBs is the ease of bypassing/eliminating the L-Pads with a fixed resistor, once you determine the desired resistance you want in your system. And it's easily...
For the 5.6Mh inductor, I verified the link is correct for a 5.6. They have a dash in the url that makes it look like 6.5 but it's followed by "5_6" which is for the 5.6....
I went through to the best of my ability to document the parts, where I got them from and prices. I don't make any claims for this to be free of typos or errors and your parts selection, vendor and...
